I suppose such a thing could be made useful.
This thread is the first thread about it.

We always think of the 1921 Rumpler Tropfenwagen as being primordial, but here's a one-off concept from 1903. think I posted one small pic years ago (no, you go and find it), but here are five (or six) good ones from JACG:
Just A Car Guy: 1903 Oldsmobile "Doctor Car" prototype, the only one ever made.
I like that aerodynamic foot-well.  Reminds me of the El Camino/Ridgeline discussion.

The footwell looks like a platypus.
Does the Marateuch crab in cross-winds? Actually that would be a good thing, aerodynamically.
Edit: Found more views. Rear wheel is well forward of what I imagined!  You can kind of see that in those initial pics but dayum the cg of this trike is not optimal.
It's got sliding pillars AND double ellipticals up front! But there's scarcely any travel in the pillars. Looks like the pillars are an attempt at mechanical shock absorbers since they aren't bearing much of the load.
